Yes, the tunnel will only connect to the central platforms and OL maintenance access. It’s otherwise a bypass tunnel, it will likely be used more often for non users just crossing the tracks. I don’t understand what was expected of a tunnel. It’s just meant to move people. As soon as you add...

Looking at the completed median guideway on Eglinton, you’ll find that barriers are only placed next to curves and special track sections (crossovers). The purpose is presumably to protect road users from train derailment, essentially a light crash wall. I haven’t reviewed enough of the...

Cat on the keyboard!! This is not a drill people!! Cats 👏 are on 👏 the keyboard 👏

My best guess is the average temperature range, year round, is much slimmer in Lyon. Seems to be the case from a quick google search. Power lines can expand and sag a lot at high temperatures. If the catenary is strung such that it’s taut at say -15 degrees, then it will be very droopy at +30...

Looks fine on aerial but in reality that’s a big descent from UofG to Guelph central on Gordon St, up to 6%. It’s also an awfully slim ROW. If the university ever requires a higher order connection to downtown, it will likely need a new east/west ROW. Since this is a Guelph related thread I’ll...

Correction: south from Richmond. That is to say the transit exclusive lane will run southbound to Adelaide but no further.

CIBC Square and Backstage are now wed.

I thought so too but the angles don’t make sense unless the photo was very cropped.

And is a station at Lakeview going to pop up overnight? No, obviously we expect it will be delivered in conjunction with electrification and corridor expansion. What’s important to understand is in the long term, as we continually expand transit, this one corridor gets two birds stoned at once...

Starting August 6th one eastbound lane of Eastern Avenue (Sumach to Broadview) will be occupied for bridge rehabilitation. Notice specifies until August 30th but various restrictions will apply on and off between now and 2027.

CIBC x Italian Air Force

To be fair, they’re now on one of the lowest density lots in several blocks. I imagine the lot will be upsized before it sees any new tenants.

Had a brief look around the Don Yard this morning, not much to see in photos but I’ll keep it interesting with some extra context. Construction map below (from env. assessment 2022/04) Note the solid black lines indicate OL tracks, green is the open portal, and red is sequential excavation...

Paving is complete and planters were filled this weekend along University southbound. I snapped a couple photos on Saturday evening. I’m sure drainage had to be well thought out on this project so I’ll give benefit of doubt; there is further work that will be done. Some areas are clearly...

Agreed, was just typing about this. Commercial vehicles need hefty fines otherwise their companies will rarely even slap the wrists of their drivers. 10x the fines (maybe even more?), companies receiving multiple fines will hopefully fold and be forced to train their employees to park safely...

Not a problem in new builds, AC is very cheap in new higher efficiency units and a one time purchase of curtains is cheap. Seeing more sun year round is a definite health benefit. For Pinnacle towers specifically, north balconies/windows are right in front of Gardiner. For towers near the...

~3pm update: big girder in place, the next section over the road will be installed August 10th.

Looks better on the south side. I think an above ground parking structure of 5x that size is unacceptable anywhere downtown. I also don’t follow why the province would foot the whole bill for this, no contribution from Therme?

In such proximity to the GO station, sad!
